June Reports Show Gain—Produc- ers Refuse to Cut Price. A substantial increase In lumber orders and shipments was shown the first week of this month, according to the survey of the American Lum- berman of Chicago. Although undoubtedly there was a recent slackening in the lumber de- H!lfld. it has been overemphasized, says the American Lumberman, for, despite the handicap to consumption exercised by continued bad weather, total shipments for the mills report- ing. through eight large associations of ‘manufacturers were only 1 per cent below production during the first twenty-three weeks of 1924—indicat- ing that there has been no accumula- tion of stock. Producers, however, decline to cut lumber at 'present prices, and in every region there Is a tendency to curtall output. The situation at the west coast is illustrative. Although wages were recently reduced an av- erage of 10 per cent, the mills find it Impossible to market lumber at the prices now being offered for it, and on July 4 there will be a general shutdown. It is estimated that the small, higher-cost mills producing 22 per cent of the southern pine total find present prices below their costs, and that conditions have forced the closing down of 37 per cent of south- ern pine production—other curtail- ment being allowed for. Fall demand will see depleted stocks, and buyers will find it necessary to pay reason- able prices, Code Committee Planned. A meeting was held recently in Cleveland to discuss the advisability of creating an advisory building code committee, composed of representa- tive archi engineers and con- tractors. City Manager Hopkins is said to favor the plan. The committee, if formed, would review and also prepare new legis- lation affecting building codes. It would work toward such revision of the existing code as would tend to reduce building costs and cause im- provement of those sections of the city which fall behind the newer methods of construction. ‘D.
